The Professor vs. The Ploughman With Hadley Arkes
"Of things like critical theory, when I think of deconstruction, it all sounds like gobbledygook and I would argue that part of it is calculated to sound like gobbledygook part of it is calculated to tell common men and women, listen, this is not for you, will take it from here. That seems to me part of the underlying thesis of what we're communicating. That's absolutely right. You know, Jefferson had that line. You could do the same problem to a professor in a ploughman and the planet was an example to get it right. Well, if you want to who said that? Jefferson. Okay, Jefferson said the proof of the problem. I didn't get the word the ploughman. Right. It gives the same question to the Professor of the ploughman and the plowman was his apt to get it right because he's not being distracted by artificial rules or theories. And that is the argument I'm making here. Click the most dramatic example, Eric. You have the matter of transgenderism. Comes before the court and the court decides that if Anthony Stevens, declares himself to be a woman, everybody else around him must be obliged to respect that judgment or put their jobs and their employers in peril. Now, the conservatives look at this and say, well, that's how what sexual discrimination made in 1964. Let's look at, let's look at the legislative history. But that's I could get them anywhere. You have to go beyond the legislative history to consider what sex really is. You know, the congregation for the doctrine of faith once said there's not always been an Italy or a Hungary. But as long as there are human beings, there must be men and women, males, and females. The average man would look at this thing and say, why do you kidding? He's not a he's not a woman. He's a man. In other words, it took certain lawyers. Years of training, absorbing theories of statutory construction to prevent them from seeing what the ordinary man sees it once is imbecilic.

Brigitte Gabriel: Fox News Has Become a Vanilla, RINO News Channel
"This was a turning point in our country. It's a turning point because of the silencing of conservatives and the precedent setting of Fox News settling for over $700 million establishing a precedent that endangers all conservatives all our voices. Talks did not need to settle this case. They could have fought this case, but Fox started going lefty, Mike, a long, long time ago. You and I know that we were very closely. We have friends. We are friends with all the prime time anchors of Fox News. The firing of Tucker Carlson was basically the culmination of years of Fox leaning to the left while conservatives thought Fox is a conservative organization. Fox is a conservative network. This is where we get our voices out. And with the firing of Tucker Carlson conservatives no longer can bury their head in the sand and pretend that Fox News is a conservative is our side of the story compared to CNN and MSNBC and everybody else. Now they realize that Fox News has become a rhino vanilla news story news channel that doesn't want to create wave. They do not want to do real journalism. They do not want to do the real hard work that Tucker Carlson was doing. By exposing the Intel agencies by exposing our government, our elites, our leaders, our big pharma. He went after everybody and not only went after everybody, he also brought to the attention of the nation, countries like what's happening in El Salvador. If El Salvador can deal with the criminals and straighten out the nation the way they did, why can't we do it in here? He flew over to Europe and showed us how they do things in Hungary and in different places. And we realized why can't we do things here? So he was empowering people to stand up, not only to our government, not only to our intelligence agencies, not only to our big pharma. But also to be corporations.

Pope in Hungary meets with Ukrainian refugees, Russian envoy
"Pope Francis has urged Hungarians to carry on a culture of charity in a country run by a prime minister who is staunchly anti immigration. At a mass attended by refugees, Pope Francis thanks the Hungarian people for their welcoming nature. Thank you for having welcomed not only with generosity, but also with enthusiasm, so many refugees from Ukraine. At the end of the events, a band of Hungarian Roma musicians serenaded the pontiff, drawing a standing ovation and cheers from the crowd, and a thumbs up from Francis. Outside the Greek Catholic Church in Budapest, Pope Francis greeted crowds over barriers to get the chance to touch his hands.

Pope Francis laments the return of war in Europe, and Pittsburgh's Jewish congregations prepare for a trial in the nation's deadliest antisemitic attack.
"Of this week's AP religion roundup of France's lamb mince the return of war in Europe and Pittsburgh's Jewish congregations prepare for a trial in the nation's deadliest anti semitic attack. On a three day trip to Hungary, Pope Francis outlined his vision for the future of Europe. In a carefully calibrated speech, Francis blasted what he called adolescent belligerents that brought war back to Europe. He said the continent must recover its founding spirit of peaceful unity to confront Russia's war in Ukraine. Francis addressed Hungary's top leadership, whose lukewarm support for Ukraine has rankled other European Union countries. Jury selection has begun in the federal death penalty trial of a truck driver accused of shooting to death 11 Jewish worshippers at a Pittsburgh synagogue in the deadliest anti semitic attack in U.S. history. Robert Bowers faces 63 counts of the October 2018 attack at the tree of life synagogue. Peter Smith of AP's global religion team explains the questions posed to potential jurors. A lot of the questions focused on whether the jurors could or would impose the death penalty if it came to that. There was very little discussion in today's hearing about whether they could render a fair verdict guilty or innocent. If convicted, Bowers could receive a death sentence. The 50 year old offered to plead guilty and return for a life sentence, but federal prosecutors turned him down. You know, I'm not the same person. That I was the day before. On October 26th, I don't think you can be. Rabbi Jeffrey Myers of the tree of life congregation was one of the survivors of the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre. He says that he and other survivors are determined that the attacker will not have the final word, and that they will write the next chapter of their story. I do believe God wanted me to be here as a response. And I don't say that out of a place of haughtiness or arrogance, but of divine mission of responsibility. Myers and members of the congregation say that since the shooting, they practice their faith boldly, fought for gun safety policies and honored the dead. I'm Walter ratliff

Caller: Antony Blinken Needs to Be Impeached
"I'll tell you about that Anthony blinken and the liars every one of them. Do you remember when Anthony blinken was sitting across the table from the Chinese and they were talking, you know, when he first came on and they tore into him about how terrible our country is and everything and Anthony blinken accepted everything they said, yes, our country has problems. Didn't bring up one thing about the Uyghurs, nothing. He's a spineless jellyfish, and he's worthless, and he does need to be impeached and thrown out a secretary. Karen, I don't remember that exact instance with Anthony blinken, though what I do know is that Xi Jinping has been meeting with leaders from all around the world and talking about how he wants to combat global the global hegemony of the United States. He's met with Viktor Orban in Hungary, Gustavo, Petra and Columbia. He recently met with Emmanuel Macron in France and all of those meetings. He has talked about combating the United States, and we have yet to hear any denunciation from President Biden really we have had a meek and weak response on the part of our rulers, so although I'm not aware of that exact incident, it's certainly does not shock me

Is an Invasion of Taiwan Imminent? Jack Posobiec Weighs In
"So let me ask you, Jack, do you think a kinetic invasion of Taiwan is imminent? Because a lot of people are speculating that, but it's far from an easy military maneuver. It's a serious island with significant terrain issues. Do you think we're seeing the kind of overtures towards that or is that largely bluster? What are your thoughts? No, Charlie. I don't think so right now because I think what you're going to see more along the lines of. Keep in mind that Taiwan's unique, not unique. I mean, it's an island, right? So it's an island off the coast of China. Truman had this famous quote that if the U.S. ever wanted to invade China, it would essentially be a floating aircraft carrier for us, a physical aircraft carrier. But Taiwan is not Ukraine. China can't just march into there, but also on the back end, we're there to be a kinetic war with Taiwan and the U.S. gets involved. We would also not be able to resupply Taiwan the way that we are able to with Ukraine. There's no physical border between Taiwan and Ukraine has the back door with Poland and Hungary. We can't do that in Taiwan. Essentially, Charlie, what you would see is not necessarily an amphibious assault, which of course would be very bloody. I mean, go look at the history of island hopping, the campaigns in World War two, some of the bloodiest days of the war in the Pacific took place there, taking those islands, even the invasion of Guam, Iwo Jima, et cetera, et cetera. And so when you're looking at this, most effectively, you'd see a blockade of the Chinese military. People's liberation army navy around Taiwan, it would prevent the resupply Charlie. Their food is imported 85% of Taiwan's energy supplies are imported completely imported to that island. So if you don't need to fire a shot and win, you're following sun tzu's most famous adage. And of course, the Chinese military all read sun tzu and they're going through the academy.

The Idea of Sending Western Weaponry to Ukraine Is Insane
"Comes to supplying weapons, this is really, this is hugely important. Right at the beginning of the war, I wrote an analytic piece, I think it was for breitbart. And what I said back then, ten months ago, hasn't changed today. The idea that we should be sending that anybody, the Germans, the Brits, or the Americans, should be sending western weaponry to Ukraine and cash is insane. This is a former republic of the Soviet Union. What they need is Soviet era equipment, which is standing in stockpiles in former Warsaw Pact nations like Hungary, like Poland, the Baltic states and Romania. They need to this is the Polish deal. Remember the Polish deal, Poland said, we've got MiG 29s while given to Ukraine if America backfills. Biden says yes and then 48 hours later because he's a feckless senile old get changes his mind. So they should be supplied equipment they know how to use, not Abrams tanks that nobody in Ukraine has ever driven that have 19 different types of oil to run them and that need a resupply chain from America. No, give them Soviet air equipment that we don't want anyway. Give them ammunition and lastly, just because we have a dominance in ISR in intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance when it comes to military satellites give them the target packets to hit the Russians that are on their territory where it hurts.

Pope Francis says homosexuality is sin but not a crime, and a group of young Jewish rescuers are commemorated on Holocaust Remembrance Day.
"I'm Walter ratliff with the religion roundup. In an interview with The Associated Press, Pope Francis criticized laws that criminalize homosexuality as unjust. Francis acknowledged that Catholic bishops in some parts of the world still support laws that criminalize homosexuality or discriminate against the LGBTQ community. On Holocaust remembrance day, the underground zionist youth movement is remembered for helping Jewish refugees during World War II. Members in their 90s like Sarah Epstein recalled supplying refugees with food cards and forged documents. She was among a group of Jewish youth leaders in Hungary that jumped into action just before Nazi Germany invaded in March 1944. She says the actions of Jewish youth leaders who save tens of thousands from the gas chambers should be remembered. I'm Walter ratliff.

"Said to you? Anything swing to do so. But I will do one. Well, I can do, I did in a premiership, I think that people don't remember me for a lot of things, but I think they do remember me kissing Tim flowers. Yes. It was a great photo. And that was me and Tim flowers. Before a corner kick, we were knocking like strikers do on a keepers. And I said to him, if you knocked me down and if you try to knock me again, I will kiss you on your mouth. And he said to me, oh, you want there to do that? And then he knocked me on them. Here we go. A great photo was all in the game magazines in the UK on the front pages. Which I'm very proud of. Fantastic photo. It kissing tin flowers. I mean, punch by Roy Keane. I feel they're the two main things that you contributed during your Premier League campaigns. And one of the highlights. Have you not seen the picture? No. Yes. Why? Because he was winding him up and he said, if you just told the story. I had this kind of vigil in my head and I'm trying to figure out why you would do that. Because they said it wasn't. If you pushed me down again, I'm going to kiss you on the lips and he pushed him and he saw he kissed him. One of the highlights when I see you, Steve, I will give you a kiss, but one of the highlights of the season is what I wasn't knocking him. And I was doing the Liverpool, the FA Cup game there. And I was waiting for Steve Cooper to come into get my interview, so that Roy Keane came and he came straight over and said, yeah and I didn't even touch you when I tried to. So that was a great comment for me. That's brilliant. That's very good. NATO. You know, I've got to say furnace, that Clint Dempsey thing. I think I was biker and I were both at city at the same time when that happened. And he couldn't carry himself like that. If you didn't bombard him, he would kind of say, hey, you don't know me. You don't know me, but I'm like, yeah, but we're on a football field. Nothing's really gonna happen. But it turns the funny things have been said to me. I think the biggest one was probably when I had my fingers ever heard of it when he was a galaxy and I was a rail Salt Lake. And he scored the winner and all this stuff on the fields of frustrated and then to be in the dressing room and see his big 6 foot four self walk in. And then asked me, have I calmed down yet? I don't even know you. What's going on? It was the weirdest moment probably ever had in football as an opposition players in the dressing room, trying to humiliate me in front of all my teammates after we've just lost. So I probably have to say that one. But you want to chain in one day. We're doing this drill. So we've got a few other boys to do it and claims one of them. And Paul was standing on the corner. He was going to end up on. Okay. So we were doing this drill, right? And then we broke everybody out right. Going to your groups and everybody do the drill. And as he's leaving the corner, he turns to Paul Clement and he goes, he goes, hey, very much. I came here to learn and I will teach you. His speech was really, have you seen his speech for the nuts? Really, really nice speech. You had a chance to have a look at that. Thank you to his parents, very emotional. Jan, predictions for the biggest flop of the World Cup in negative. Oh, that's a hard one because what is a flop, but it's like saying Messi will never win a World Cup, but I don't dare to say that because then I will have all that social media and messy thing, so I can't do that. I can probably not saying that I don't think Brazil will do well. I can't say that either. So there I have two candidates for that position. The biggest flop so far is Italy. Now going there. But I'm not sure about this Brazilian team. I will have to put them on a slowly soft candidate list of maybe being a flop and for me flop will be then going to the knockout stages and be knocked out. Wow, he answers. Yeah..

"Films, but wow, where he's strong when he got to bowl on the page and if I can take a candidate, I still on the sub bench will be sloughter back there, central half of Freiburg, who has now gone to Dortmund. We will know a lot about him next season. He will be interesting to follow him taking another step and going to a club where he will go to a lot of more mentions. Native. In the Premier League, which player caught your eye this year that you're looking forward to seeing if they continue to develop next season. It's a pick one player is quite difficult. So I'll kind of spread out a little bit. And I think the obvious one really for me is Louis Diaz, I think when he came in in January, I thought he hit the ground running. I thought he was spectacular for Liverpool for the second half of the season. So a point where at times he felt like their biggest threat and that's incredible considering money was there. Salah was there, giotta, Firmino, the works. So there's definitely him, but the one I want to mention is called a Gallagher. I think seeing the season is just had a Crystal Palace. I thought he was very, very good for them, but he was just on loan and he's on loan from Chelsea. So will he be playing in the Premier League next season four Chelsea or will they have to go elsewhere to find his phantom football again? And when he does, like, what sort of play of Willie B going into that second season? I think it makes for a really exciting time for him and it's good to see that you know essentially if he wanted Clint Dempsey once your Clint Dempsey accents theory, you know him better than any of us. He said, apparently, you don't know where I'm from, dog. I'm sure he didn't quite say in that tone to make a Richards. What's the funniest thing an opponent opponent has.

"This could be the big star of the new season as they know, losing Harlem and as it seems also losing Robert zanzi. NATO obviously Colin talking of new challenges, but how much of a challenge really is it going to a Bayern Munich side that will win the Bundesliga with or without manic? I think it's a challenge because he has to prove himself. Come on, come on, Donald. Don't be so much wine. You never know, maybe next year will be the year, maybe. Yeah, in regards to that. He's an established player at Liverpool, established in the Premier League, is a Liverpool legend, he's a Premier League icon at this point. So for him, if he does end up leaving, then go into Bayern Munich, he's great. All the stuff that he's done, but it's more a case of well, what can you do for me now? And the expectation that exists at that club in terms of wanting to win everything trying to win everything, being as good as they are, the eyes that will be on them domestically, the eyes are on their internationally. And also the fact that if loaded dusky leaves, and you're the guy that comes in, you know, there's going to be a lot of pressure applied on, I put on you because I love to be one of the most iconic players in Europe for the past 5, 6 years I have a longer spin. So it would be a new challenge. It would be different. And it must be a great position to be in to be in demand. You know, Liverpool want you to stay live for one of the biggest clubs if not the biggest club in the world. And then by a Munich saying they may be what you as well. Clearly is doing something right. So more power to him. And in the end, you know, hopefully the decision it makes is one which he ends up being very, very happy with, and I'm sure that you'll have plenty more good years ahead because he doesn't even seem close to being on the decline, as we can see by the hat trick today. I love the challenge both. He's basically saying I want male door. Come on. There's nothing to do with a challenge. I have quick last week talking about it. It's a big challenge when you write the top. To stay there. Yeah. So just see it's about the door. Stop throwing in challenge. I will say though, he's been fantastic for Liverpool. He still is fantastic. But the truth is, Liverpool and 19 8.9% of every other club can't pee everybody 5 and 6 million. And so you have to make choices. And this is the right choice. It is the right choice in my opinion because what, 6 months ago, a guy called Diaz kid. So you know what? If you can't be everybody 5 or 6, you have to decide who you let go of who you keep. And if you have a dias moving straight into that sport, then that's why for me, if you can get the 40 million for money, then you do it. Meanwhile, yeah. Money going to buy a Munich. Where do we stand on Lewandowski? What's he up to? Robert Lewandowski, I don't want to use the method for of girls in a nightclub. No, no, no, I know you were so shocked the last time because I think you had reminded you of some nights out. But while buying have been flirting with Allen hall and now for a year and Robert Le Mans has known about this the whole time. And that is kind of prepared himself now to go. He has set out before he wants to go to Real Madrid, he wanted to force that move. But now he's going for his and his agent sahabi when he says something Lewandowski can say, yeah, that was my agent and I didn't mean it that way. And so on and so on. But now while he was with Poland now, he was so clear. I won't play for buying again and Salah mesic and Oliver Kahn. There's desperate to get a replacement in for him. Manet would suit the bill because they would then say he's good for the Bundesliga. He's a star player. He's a brilliant player coming to our club, but it seems that he would go to Barcelona, although we have problem in Barcelona and about tabas, the president of the Spanish FA, say they can't afford it, and maybe they have to sell the young and so on and so on. But I can't see Robert levandowski playing for Bayern Munich next season. I can't see how that could be done. I mean, not even you, Dan, after a dad metaphor, I did last time. Can kind of find a way to solve that. Yes, but back to your metaphor, what if I can't afford to buy any girls drinks because I've spent it on de young, oh goodness, no messy or back in the day, what happens if Barcelona can't afford him and he doesn't make that move? Well, then he has to stay or go somewhere else. There are other clubs who want to strike her as well. I think for the time being, he's probably talking about savvy, Saab is a great seller of the club. I'm talking about for experience here, what he's talked with other players. So he is a great seller of the club, the club's ideas. I think the Robert Lewandowski finds that this time is 34 this summer. He can get a three year contract there. A good deal and state a brief and it's a challenge to get Barcelona back. But if it won't get Barcelona, there will be other clubs who will take him out. I mean, it looks like the relationship, especially between Salah message and rather than dusky, is so white down down that you can't even buy a drink. In terms of afford a drink, you won't even come to the bar and so I think the rubber dusky is history by Munich. Also interesting some reports coming out, Colin, that Victor osserman could be a target for Bayern Munich. If Lewandowski leaves, how highly do you rate him? Oh, very, very, very high look. You can see on the street, his number, of course, he's got 18 goals. In 32 games, this season. That's phenomenal for a young strike. The only black mark you might see against him might be the fact that he's been injured a lot and ill a lot this season. So maybe you might think about that, Luke, and I think, okay, some major clothes might be looking at our thinking. Maybe we want to see him play a full season without illness or injury, but in terms of talent in terms of determination in terms of application in terms of just giving a 100% to the cause Victor Simon is a great striker. And maybe also the cost might also be a factor because what we understand is Napoli are holding out for about a 100 million for him. So that might also discourage all but the most added of clubs and if Lewandowski does get an empire, Victoria may be an option I mean. We know clubs.

You know, these sorts of things have happened and now people try to make changes. And it's a shame because I'll be honest last year I thought, what are the sort of best games that I saw or series of games that I saw, were the semifinals and the finals of the Nations League. But it felt good because it came out of time when it made sense. The group stages were happening at the time, which made sense. But as a player or as an ex player, that feeling of the end of a season is one way you relieved, you've got a chance to relax and get ready and just relax before getting into the next season. But for these guys who have played at the very highest level, these seasons they never really finished as Bernardo Silva said that. That next season starts in a month's time, yet still they're playing in these four fixtures through this period of time now. And for them, they don't want to turn their back on the national team and they want to turn their back on their teammates and so on. You're still this is what they're doing. So from a time in standpoint, it does seem wild and four games in ten days after the season that people have had. You know, it's crazy and we've covered de Bruyne specifically. I think at the start of the season, I think he almost felt like he fell out of love with football because then it was playing the pain he was going through and that's through seasons all merging together and then lo and behold here's another chance for that to be the case going into yet another season for him. And some would say poor millionaire footballers complaining that they've got too much. Boo hoo. But that is only a Twitter who who thinks. So let's talk about the politics here because this is about FIFA. This is about the leagues. This is about UFO, a quarreling to get enough pictures. There are all kind of event tournaments out there. The national league has an idea, not bad. The picture list is scandalous, of course. But I think that these players that we mentioned and that we quoted should start with their own associations because UFO is all the associations in Europe and they are the member countries and they should start criticizing themselves. So when they fill up like Italy, FA, fill up in Bologna tonight, there was a great atmosphere there. But still, they have a chance to do something about it at UFO. The players organization has got to be better because four games in ten days after a season like this, this is a recipe how to get injured and especially the big players who have played all these intense games over this season. You know, the one thing I agree with them that says, it's all about the money, the air fees, they want to get their piece of the piece of the change. But for people to understand about these tapes of games at the end of the season, yes, you liable to get injured because you're fatigued. But you're actually more liable to get injured because you haven't prepared properly. Because half of your brain is on holiday. And the other half is thinking about playing these games before you go on a holiday. So what happens is when you start playing the game, you're not fully committed all the time. And it's the time that you're not committed that you're going to get caught. You know, we always used to say as players. If you're going to go for a challenge, make sure you go a 100% because if you don't, you're more likely to get injured. And you have got hundreds of players running around the world right now, and that sort of position. Where they're going to get injured. And half of it is don't do too many games, and the other half is down to the main's not fully concentrated on what you should be doing.

"Welcome to latest edition of ESPN SE I'm Dan, Thomas joined the studio by Stevie Nicks international football going to dominate everything at the moment that's where we start today's show hungry in action against England, the opening round of their Nations League games, and it would be hungry, would win by one goal to nail, that goal coming in the 66th minute from the penalty spot, Penn for you, Stevie. Well, usually against England, I don't care whether. But on this occasion, even I wouldn't have given it. Wow, goodness. For more on this game, let's welcome in show fuel tough native manure joins us as well. NATO, what would you like to say about this match? What would I like to say? Um, I think we'll go more in depth when we talk about the nation's league as such. But I really enjoyed the game after Hungary scored. And I've got to say as well I'm with Steve. I don't think that's a penalty. It seems to me like the type of thing where someone shielded the ball out, played a like for a gold kick. That sort of thing. And you just read that you see the game in a different manner so I didn't understand the penalty, but it was good. And I think in some ways, after that, you know, you saw Hungary fighting for their lives in England, throwing on extra players to throw in on like more attackers and so on to be able to try and score. So it made for an entertaining climate, because I'll be honest before they really wasn't the best, but like I said, with this nation's league concept, obviously timing is an issue, but it makes for more competitive games. And I think that was definitely a case that I saw that today. Yeah? Yeah, I follow that. I think that would have been said. We're going to talk about how many games you could play after 70 games for some of them. It's quite interesting that the top 6 teams in Europe didn't win this first round. I mean, something to do with the intensity. But the penalty, well, it gave him a chance for the Hungarian to go down, didn't he? Should it be a penalty? I'm not sure, but you see that sometimes being given. And then she'll be had a chance to make a big win for Hungary and everybody knew it is group with Hungary, Italy, Germany, and Hungary to Hungary, will lead his group. I mean, that is everybody could see that happening. Stevie, what's Gareth Southgate got out of this? Nothing. Oh. Nothing. Not a thing. It got to see, well, nothing. Jared Bourne would get something because the next time he steps on the field in an England Jersey. It'll be a lot calmer and I'm sure he'll do better than he did in this game. Right. Other than that. Same Justin as well, obviously. Absolutely nothing that happened in this game.

"You couldn't imagine any kind of top down electoral rigging in the way that you get in Hungary, but what you could imagine is that basically successful attempts to change enough states into Hungary like statelets or fiefdoms where national elections are no longer meaningfully competitive, or at least Democrats are playing on such an unlevel playing field that they almost never get to wield power effectively, especially given Republican control over the courts. That's not inconceivable. It's also not inevitable. It depends, depends on what Democrats choose to do. It depends on if Republicans continue down the path that they are on. And what I do think we should be is alarmed. Alarmed at the similarities between the situation. An alarm that in a country that has a much longer and much more robust tradition of democratic governance and Hungary does, that you're starting to see enough similarities that we could maybe think about ourselves at being in the same situation as Hungary, right before Orban took over, and authoritarian is the.

"Zack beacham, my partner in size, senior correspondent at vox. I'm in a coworking space in Budapest because the Internet at my hotel betrayed me and I'm glad that we've got you on the line because you've been reporting on hungry for years and I've been here for a few days and I want you to describe what you think is going on in this country. You know, the short answer is that Hungary is the premier international model for democratic backsliding in a consolidated democracy. That sounds like a little bit political science jargony broken down what it means is Hungary is a truly striking case of a democracy sliding backwards into some kind of authoritarian system. It's that some kind of actually that I've been really struggling with because I hear authoritarianism and I think secret police, I think there are certain things I can't say in public. And every Hungarian I talked to, whether they were critical of prime minister Viktor Orban or not, kind of made it a point to say incidentally, I can say whatever I want, but is that authoritarianism or is that something different? I had the same experience you did in Hungary. When I'm there, right, is that people will talk very freely. But does not mean that there's actual freedom of speech in the country. If you are a media magnet who wants to run a media outlet that is critical of the government, either you're going to be marginal or you're going to be destroyed. The government will audit you repeatedly. They will hound you by making sure you don't get ad revenue. They will ensure that your competitors get certain advantages, your government friendly competitors. And this pattern has repeated over and over again to the point where depending on who's estimate you buy between 80 and maybe even upwards of 90% of all media in the country is owned by the government and it's cut outs. So it is an authoritarian system that is designed to mimic certain freedoms that democratic countries have and to make people think that they actually have them. It's a whole part of the legitimation strategy that Orban has employed. For some time, you've been making the argument that urbanism, Victor Orban style is creeping into the United States, creeping Orban ism if I may. And I want to talk about one figure in particular whom you've written about. Florida's governor Ron DeSantis. What has Ron DeSantis done that reminds you of Victor Orban? What's the American analog here? The best way to think about this is the whole saga involving Florida's don't say gay law and the subsequent fight with the Disney corporation. Now, this law is very similar to a Hungarian law passed about a year prior to the American law. You were paying commission has urged Hungary to repeal the law, but Budapest says EU efforts to overturn it will be in vain, insisting the measure is there to protect children. Some things that I've seen suggest the American law was literally inspired by Orban's law, which is an attempt to curtail the speech rights of LGBT individuals. There's this element of the use of social policy and socially conservative ideas as a means of cracking down on individual liberties and making it difficult for your cultural opponents and your political opponents to express themselves in public spaces. But then afterwards, what's potentially even more striking is that when Disney, which is obviously a very big company in Florida protested, desantis decided to retaliate by attempting to strip their special tax privileges in a place called the reedy creek improvement district. Where Disney basically functions as a mini government. Florida revoked that. Basically in direct retaliation. This state is governed by the interests of the people of the state of Florida. It is not based on the demands of California corporate executives. That is classic Orban ism. The idea that what you do is you take a regulatory policy that was designed for other reasons, namely encouraging economic development and boosting the welfare of people in a particular part of Florida and using it to punish a corporation that speaks out. That is, I think, the essence of Orban style of rule is twisting government powers. Obviously there is a certain type of Republican that is looking at Hungary and is very interested in what Victor Orban is doing, how he's done it. Victor Orban very famously sort of consolidated power in all of these different areas. The judiciary the media. He rewrote the constitution. These are things that you can't do in the United States. Nobody's gotten to come along, throw out the constitution, rip it up, write a new one and say these are the new laws. And so some of this concern that maybe America is drifting toward a hungry like model seems really overwrought to me. Where do you come down on this? The concern to me is not that Donald Trump comes in in a second term and all of a sudden, he is doing everything that Orban has done in the federal level, I really worry about people like desantis, employing these kinds of powers because states have incredible amounts of power to change the electoral system to make life difficult for people who live there and disagree with their policies. And it is possible in 21st century America that you could get a version not of the aggressive, basically naked kind of authoritarianism, but a more subtle Hungarian version cropping up in certain states. And you've already seen warning signs of that, not just in Florida, but also I think most notably Wisconsin in North Carolina who are two of the real Republican innovators on figuring out how to undermine a democratic system from within. What do you say to someone who makes this argument? Zack, this is just Americans looking abroad the way they always do. You're mad, you're upset because it's Republicans doing it. But if liberals do this with Sweden, you don't go and write a piece for vox saying we should be worried about this. To which I say our elections competitive in Sweden, our elections competitive in Norway. Yes, they are. Our elections competitive and hungry. No, they're not. The opposition as we just saw in the election of April this year was not competing on a fair playing ground. They had no real chance to win. And when you look to a country like that, it's just categorically different. Than it is looking to a country like Sweden because you're talking about a country that's pioneering a model for democratic destruction. And the means by which it accomplishes these things are inextricably intertwined with its social conservatism. The conservatism is used as a pretext for power grabs. And so when you're looking to model that, what you are modeling is a playbook for authoritarianism. It's not just social conservative policies, right? And there are certain policies that if you want to take from Hungary, like subsidies for families. I have no problem with that, but lots of countries subsidize families and provide superior child care options to what we have in the United States. Why do you pick that country? Why the one that also happens to be pretty much the European Union's only authoritarian government. In 25 years, with the way the United States is going, with its democracy, feeling a little shaky in our lifetimes, does the United States look more like Hungary or does the United States stay the United States we know? Something kind of like Hungary. Is not implausible..

"It's today explained I'm Noel king, and I got kicked out of cpac Hungary. Today explained producer miles Bryan spent weeks applying for press credentials for cpac. So many email. He got no response. So we showed up and they told us you were supposed to apply for credentials for cpac, but we did. No dice. So anyway, I strolled in and came upon a press conference. Excuse me are you taking questions from the press? Cpac chair Matt schlapp was talking about freedom. Hello, I have a question for mister schlapp. My name is Noel king. He answered my question. It's job to dictate to other countries. And then I was ejected from cpac Hungary. Next day, same deal. Couldn't stroll in this time, there was too much security, other reporters were outside too. I don't think we're getting in, but there was an American representative of cpac outside who told us Hungarian conference, Hungarian rules. And those partners are the ones who make the operational decisions. Anyway, freedom, or something. Of course, the point of the cpac conference is the ideas. I'd arranged an interview with two men who were going to be at cpac. And I got a hold of them before they vanished inside. Is von kish is Hungarian. He's the executive director of the Danube institute, which is a conservative think tank in Budapest. Gladden papin is American. He's an associate Professor of politics at the university of Dallas, and he's spending a year in Budapest on a fellowship. These are ideas, guys. They are not politicians. And there are particular type of conservative. As you're going to hear, they're not the type that wants free markets and small government. They want the government involved in our lives. One example, Hungary wants a bigger population, so the government gives loans and tax breaks and other benefits to Hungarians and gets more generous the more kids you have. Istvan thinks Hungary can teach that. Gladden thinks the U.S. should learn it. What is the purpose of the cpac conference as far as you're concerned? Well, the Republican Party has always been more individualistic party. It focuses on a lowering tax rate, making gestures toward traditional family structures and maybe engaging in foreign intervention, Hungarian conservatism, European conservatism is very different. There's a strong social welfare state tradition in Europe, but in Hungary that's been turned toward supporting traditional families and really supporting their own conservative voter base, I guess. So it represents a different kind of conservatism, different kind of approach to politics that's less individualistic. And I think that that is causing a lot of American conservatives to come over and see what's going on. I imagine there's another type of American conservative that's a little freaked out by this. The idea of the Republican Party, the traditional Republican Party, kind of lining up behind the idea of a social welfare state. I mean, this is the party of free markets. Am I out of the loop? No, you're right. Look, I think there are some elements of the Hungarian conservative policy that are immediately appealing to American conservatives like Trump talked about building a wall and Hungary in 2015 actually did build a wall on its southern border, so there was some obvious overlap there. But you're right, these programs that support families in Hungary involve amounts of money that would probably make some Democrats blush in the United States. I think that some American conservatives have started to realize that their earlier policy of supporting whatever big corporations do isn't working in their interest anymore. That's causing some tension within the party because the old donor base that drove the policies of the 1980s and 1990s is still there. But we live at a time in the United States now where young people are having trouble imagining purchasing a house. And so when you look at the Hungarian pro family policy, it's really about enabling people to make that first step into a responsible homeownership or building or expanding a house. And so I think there is a lot of new interest in what that looks like among American conservatives. Prime minister Victor Orban calls Hungary a Christian democracy. Iswan, what does this mean? Well, I think a lot of people confuse this with Hungary being a Christian state. And that's not the same. I think he's always talking about Hungary and both speaking Europe being a continent, a country which is based on Christian values. Which most of the population share, these people might not be church going people, they might not be over religious in their everyday life. But still, if you look at the actual statistics, even in broadly in Europe, there is about 70 80% of people who identify themselves as Christians. And by advocating Christian democracy, I think he's more looking at these are our shared values, which we have to protect, which we have to try to support. And this might be an opportunity to liberal democracy. Prime minister Orban and fidesz his party have changed some of the laws in Hungary, so that they make life more difficult for LGBTQ people. There is a law that prevents the teaching of anything that involves homosexuality in schools. American listeners will be very familiar with this from Florida and from the United States. But I think the overarching criticism is Christianity okay fine, but if you're using Christianity to make laws and policies that disadvantage or even persecute LGBTQ people, you've got a real problem. What do you think? I think that you might say that there's some discrimination against an ambitious people, but in Hungary, homosexuals can actually live in a civil partnership and have 99% of the same rights as people who are married. In the United States that reads as discrimination. Among many people that reads as discrimination. In.

I did last year with sarah. Ner a couple of weeks ago tucker.

Maybe not surprising. Actually but at least concerning and sarah posner is one of those people in one of the people that knows the most about how the american rights has worked in conjunction with those in europe and the far-right and her book unholy really did capture so much of how christian nationalists have worked with those far-right leaders in europe. As well as those here in the united states to push forward very conservative agendas and things that lead to anti democratic developments. This is pretty serious stuff. And i know that our news media landscape is so obsessed with. What's happening here now and that is important. There are critically important. Things happening every single day from the ongoing covered nineteen pandemic to everything. That's happening in afghanistan to so much else.

"You want to respond to that. Well the religious right was already behind the anti democracy. Even before tucker. Carlson went to hungary. it was on the religious right that you really saw a lot of the earlier or bond fervor and a lot of it did have to do with his move to ban abortion or same sex marriage or otherwise curtail. Lgbtq writes in hungary. They liked that they also liked his appeals too not just ethnic nationalism but christian nationalism which is what they have been promoting here in the united states. As jack said they've been promoting this idea that the founders intended america to be a christian nation and that america in more recent decades has been under attack by liberals who wanna take away that christian heritage by depriving christians of their freedom to Be against lgbtq rights for example or have tried to take away christians freedom by Upholding separation of church and state. So this has been the main driving ideology of the christian right for the past several decades and now they see somebody like victor or bonn who doesn't have a lot of the guard rails that we have here in terms of you know how how easily are not easily. We can change our constitution or checks and balances in separation of powers and without those things he was able to. Just go ahead and impose those sorts of policy or legislative ideas in hungary. They really admired that. And i think they kind of wish they could do it here. So let's can be talk for a second more about exactly. How or a did that. In hungary because i think this these sort of draw the two threads that you and jack are discussing here together so let me play. Get a moment from our show. Back in june with cam shep lee professor of international affairs at princeton university who has lived in hungary worked in hungary knows hungary extremely well. She's also a international expert on democracy as well and she told us back in june about the parallels parallels that she's seen between orban's actions when he lost power early in the two thousands prior to his two thousand ten victory but his time then and the republican party. Now and one of those payroll is she saw was a religion. He engaged in a kind of mass mobilization of civil society and he did it a lot. Through the hungarian churches. he mobilized their members He got them all on board. They already had a pre existing structure. He was mobilising the kind of religious hungarian middle-class and through doing that he developed a very reliable base so sarah. Do you wanna talk about that a little more. What's not clear to me though is that was that sort of original or bonn or were there. Connections between american churches or american religious thinkers and hungary a before that. Well i think that it would have been difficult for him to come into contact with american republicans right activists or or political strategists and be unaware of how the republican party tied its fortunes to the religious right starting in the late nineteen seventies and how they have used that to mobilize voters to mobilize an army of citizen lobbyists for legislation that they want to basically have a get out the vote operation that they can activate with a few clicks on their computers That could not have been lost on him regardless of what his actual relationships were at the time With american religious leaders. What i do know too is in my coverage of religious right Events and media In the late twenty tens in during the run up to the twenty sixteen election and after trump became president There was a great deal of affection and admiration for what or had done And a dismissal of the concerns of pro democracy critics of oregon as basically focusing too much on just quote unquote procedural things As opposed to the great things in their view that or bond was doing to protect heritage tradition family culture. That was the kind of That was the kind of framing From the vantage point of the american religious right. So so jack respond to this. Because i was looking at some of the the writings of rod dreher who writes frequently in the american conservative. And he's a best selling religious thinker as well in the united states author of the benedict option for example. He's actually been in hungary. I believe since april of this year living there for for several months and just earlier this month. He wrote about what he met. Tucker carlson in budapest shared some meals with him as well and in the american conservative. Dreyer writes this. He writes quote. It's quite sensible. Tucker carlson and other conservatives want to figure out what the leader of the small relatively poor central european country has done to hold off those like george soros and the woke leadership of the european union to defend his country and it sovereignty with our own conservative establishment either neutered or sidelined by pointless lib owning enthusiasms thinkers of the american right. Who actually care about saving our civilization off to becoming to hungary and in poland the ads to study these places to make common cause with these people they could use our solidarity and we could certainly use. There's what do you make of that jack. Well that's out in and out embracing of authoritarians and saying to believers the things you want. You can get through a authoritarianism. You can't get it through democracy The most prophetic lines in the last decade were written a few years ago by david from who a conservative. Who said you know. If conservatives have to choose between conservatism democracy and not likely to choose democracy what we're seeing and what they have seen serve is that they can't get what they want that way. The big money can't get what it wants that way and big religion. The can't get what they want. We're in a moment here. Where the sort of bizarre Flirtations of american right wing elites are are almost ready to inflame and to catch fire with amass a religious base through through these Dominion est churches and and this this ideology of we need before the second coming. We need to get things in order here. And we can't be held up by procedural punk guilio about democracy. No no no. Let's let's do it now. I think it's a dangerous moment. And dreyer is all of the apostle isn't it. He's saying look at the here. We are look at the city on the hill here. It's budapest Well i mean he goes on to say this. It's actually really remarkable article where he says quote the unhappy truth. Is that liberalism as we americans have known it is probably dead. He says our future is almost certainly going to be left. Illiberal or right illiberal. It's not the future i would prefer. But we're not being given a choice here. But he really focuses on what he sees as left-wing ill liberalism because he says this job which is the only power capable of standing up to woke capitalists as well as those illiberal leftist in academia media sports cultural institutions and other places the state..

"Yield the ability to have kids the house the middle class. These are at the top of the agenda officially. And i think they are. If you look around you see that were being told exactly the opposite and applebaum. Who's like like almost everybody in our foreign policies avenue. It's like it's like a child. You know most still self control totally ignorance. No idea what she's talking about. Close that with aggression. I mean children are the same as is people like that. She's not the most hilarious. Tweet that i just can't get over it. She said bonn president of hyundai prime minister hungary ryan a fascist state over ninety percent of media outlets in hungary or line with the regime businesses. That go against the will of the regime are shut down. Their elections are suspect and most telling of all political figures. in hungary. mysteriously get rich. And i'm thinking all of those things may be true. They're much more true in my country that in hungary there's no question about that question the regime in public. You lose your job do you. Question ministrations coverted policies position transgender athletes. Its immigration policy. You'll be shut down and go ahead and try it. You lose your job over that we are living. I'm guessing i see it all the time. That is not the case in hungary. So whatever hungary's flaws made the it's a freer society than ours on the basis. The most obvious measure. Can you get fired for disagreeing with the regime shirley camera i live less likely there who freer and yet people like freedom house of former like the aclu like the eighty. Alice is a formerly noble organization that has long outlived its useful as the now has become the mirror. Image of what it once was is telling us that hungary is less in south africa. Like this insane. You go to pretoria. Go to budapest and tell me which is freer. I mean seriously like they think you will have access to tickets like how could you say it's stupid. It's instantly discredited. I could go on. But i to stop it. You see the point there. Really lying much more profoundly than we thought they were so when i saw that tweet i said it's not true but even if it was true only ninety percent of the media goes with the i mean i would love that like immediately. I said that sounds wonderful. Ten percent of media freedom would be desirable but of course it's not true but also there's so much i want to ask you about this idea of what is freedom right. 'cause i grew up in a conservative movement. I've talked about this. Or the idea of freedom was like degeneracy sensuousness or you can do whatever you want to do it when in reality it's actually the the order and the discipline that keeps people in a maximum or framework actually allows you to live flourishing. Lives what. I found most interesting. What your visit to. Hungary is as you put your very successful show kind of front and center. There was that you were showing the european project that the one cut of dissident voices actually a more playful and a more enjoyable and desirable way to live. Can you talk about. How hungry was like the only country to resist the merckel kind of consensus that there was this refugee crisis and hungary's like play along and they've kinda showed that the rest of the country's what the wrong direction go to paris. I'm going to europe all my life. And i i love europe. Relatives lived in a really. You know. I really love european cities and along destroying their filthy. You know they're chaotic. They're disgusting or dangerous isn't not because it's fascist or racist or anything like that but because it can fold. Its own borders two thousand fifteen. There was a a movement of millions of people from the middle east and north africa into europe and that happened for a reason. no it wasn't global climate change. it was a fault for driving suburban. It was the obvious results of bad. American neoconservative foreign policy office. You go and you kill saddam then.

"An overwhelming number of americans in this country believe including people on the left that the media is a mouthpiece for the democratic party show for the media to premise their criticism. Tucker carlson based on a free press that does it. Supposedly existed hungary. Most americans in fact. I don't know any conservatives that i know a lot of democrats who agree. Most americans believe the american media is in bed with the democratic party. And doesn't actually give you the full picture. They give you the democratic picture so for them to complain about a lack of a free press. In hungary is really about the left doesn't dominate the media and hungary like they called fox news state media with donald trump was in charge. That's what they do. In hungary because majority of the media there reflects victory views here in this country. Majority of the media reflects joe biden's views to extrapolate from hungary to the united states. The united states doesn't have a free press. either it's got a press that engages the performance company of the president of the united states. So they can cry all they want about tucker carlson but really you need to understand why they're doing it. They're trying to make fox news radioactive and they're trying to convince independent voters who watch fox news that anything that's on fox included tucker. Carlson is representative of where donald trump will go if he comes back and they're trying to scare voters. The problem is the viewing public much. Prefers what they're getting on fox whether getting from anywhere else tucker carlson's viewership is dominant. And the rest of the media is as a result. Deeply jealous right. We're going to try the foams again. Eight seven seven nine seven three seven four to five. Let's go to nicholas. Welcome to the program i eric. Can you hear me. okay. I can hear you great. Wow it works. Thank you no problem You had said something on the air. It was either last friday or the week before last that you were looking for lot hard guests to be on your show that all you talk about is politics while i wanted to give you a gift suggestion about a guy that is doing a lot of good here in atlanta. He is an actor. Me and my fifteen year old daughter love him. We have seen him in lore on amazon prime prodigal on bt plus and we met him a long time ago but what happens seven months ago just really made me stop and think of how good this guy really is. I was down at a gas station down in. Dekalb county getting some gas. I saw this man michael drive into the parking lot. Walk up to a gentleman that was homeless. He walked up to him. Gave them a hug. Handed him a bag of food and handed him some money when he left. I walked up to that gentleman myself..

"We're going to talk about. Maybe some of the differences between the united states at hungry. This is on point. This is on point. Meghna talk ra bardy and today. We are taking a close look at the european nation of hungary because he scholars of democracy and history. Say if you want to know what might happen. In the united states a little bit down the line regarding the strength or fragility of our democracy take a look at what's happening to hungary now as it marches very clearly toward authoritarian rule. I'm joined today by jack beatty on points news analyst. Kim shepard is also with us. She's a professor of sociology and international affairs at princeton university and author of the forthcoming book. The franken state how or bond undermine democracy and provided a model for the world. She worked on the hungarian constitutional court for several years. In the one thousand nine hundred ninety s lived in and visited hungary many for many years. And in fact kim before we get to exploring some of the differences between In the united states in terms of the depth and strength of their relevance their relative democracies. i actually just wanted to hear a little bit from you about your personal experiences with viktor. orban I if i have this right. You've you've spent some time with him. and what these days when you get off the plane in hungary you have what extra company when it comes to police following you and things like that. Can you tell us a little bit about. Yeah so first of all hungary's a small country and it's not as difficult as it is in a big country like the us to meet people in the political elite. and i i was As you said working at the constitutional court as a researcher on nsf. Grants from the united states From ninety four to ninety eight and during that time i taught a course in comparative constitutional law out in ukraine. The sangari garin part of ukraine. And while i was there or abandon. His entourage showed up from the parliament as they were trying to craft their new nationalist message. They were trying it out. I on gary ins in the neighboring states. And so i recognized or run from television. I walked up to him in the lobby of the hotel and and asked if i could tag along as his group from the parliament was trying out these messages and he kind of let me tag along for a few days so that was how i met him and i must admit this was a nineteen ninety five. Just as he's pivoting from being a libertarian. To being a nationalist. And i remember coming back from that trip and saying to my friends in budapest. I've just met the most dangerous person that i've ever seen in person And they all said. Oh it's victor lost an election like he's nothing and what i could see in him was set. His mind is like a tractor beam. you know. It's the kind of thing that people say about like bill clinton or to some extent. Barack obama were when you're talking to them like you feel like there's nothing else in the world right but you in them and it's a kind of it's kind of skill or talent that causes your brain to evaporate right so i can see how so. Many people fell into orban's orbit But now that i've become a critic ever since orban came to power. I mean i don't really. I'm not involved in hungarian politics from a don't belong to a party. I don't vote or anything like that. But when orban's started crashing the constitution. Which was the thing i cared about i worked at the constitutional court started paying attention and as i became a critic the full power of the hungarian state against kind of unleashed on your rathers. Marta gets worse because she's actually living in hungary most of the time. But you know i. It started with death threats and then it started with my being followed when i'd show up in the country. My hungarian phone was td and my last visit. I was literally met at the plane door by five uniform. Police who didn't say anything didn't touch me. But just made a little circle around me as i waited for my suitcase at the airport and walked to the door of the airport. Which was i think welcomed hungary and the government knows. You're here So it's a little unnerving to know that they paid that much attention to when i'm in the country into what i'm doing but it's not gonna stop me from saying what's happening there. Wow well. you mentioned marta. Povey who we heard from at the top of the show human rights lawyer based in budapest We want to hear from her again a little bit. Because previously you she was describing. How hungary has changed over the past twenty to thirty years Under an under the rule of viktor orban but we also wanted to know what she thought is similar between hungary and the united states from her vantage point in budapest and she said i c quite a lot of similarities between what is happening in hungary or many parts of europe. And what's happening in the us. When it comes to polarization. I also see similarities.
